HPC-IODC 2020 : HPC I/O in the Data Center Workshop

We are excited to announce that research papers will be published in Springer LNCS open access and extended manuscripts in theJournal of High-Performance Storage as well. Contributions to both tracks are peer-reviewed and require submission of the respective research paper or idea for your presentation via Easychair (see the complete description in Track: Research Papers).

The workshop is held in conjunction with the ISC-HPC during the ISC workshop day. Note that the attendance to ISC workshops requires a workshop pass. See also our last year's workshop web page.

For accepted papers, the length of the talk during the workshop depends on the controversiality and novelty of the approach (the length is decided based on the preference provided by the authors and feedback from the reviewers). We also allow virtual participation (without attending the workshop personally). All relevant work in the area of data center storage will be able to publish with our joint workshop proceedings, we just believe the available time should be used best to discuss controversial topics. 

=== Topics === 
The relevant topics for papers cover all aspects of data center I/O including: 
* application workflows 
* user productivity and costs 
* performance monitoring 
* dealing with heterogeneous storage 
* data management aspects 
* archiving and long term data management 
* state-of-the-practice (e.g., using or optimizing a storage system 
for data center workloads) 
* research that tackles data center I/O challenges 

=== Paper Deadlines === 
* Submission deadline: 2020-02-24 AoE 
* Author notification: 2020-04-24 
* Pre-final submission: 2020-06-10 
* Workshop: 2020-06-25 

== Track: Talks by I/O experts == 

The topics of interest in this track include but are not limited to: 
* A description of the operational aspects of your data center 
* A particular solution for certain data center workloads in production 

We also accept industry talks, given that they focus on operational issues 
and omit marketing. 

If you are interested to participate, please submit a short (1/2 page) abstract 
of your talk together with a (very) short Bio. 

Abstract Deadlines: 
* Submission deadline: 2020-04-10 AoE
